The Young Rajah Movie Herald
This is a Movie Herald from the film, "The Young Rajah." Most Heralds are very collectible but not too difficult to find. They are great collectibles, they are like mini original posters.
I just bought this. I wanted The Sainted Devil, but I missed out. Oh well. I already have one for Monsieur Beaucaire. They are a cool vintage little item.
I love movie heralds! I do not understand why they are not more valuable. They are like mini movie posters or programs. Good luck on The Sainted Devil herald!
I found this same herald, immaculately preserved in a high school geography book for the last 89 years. It's great, and I especially love the fact that one of the names written on the inside of the book corresponds to the lightly penciled movie-goer's name on the back of the herald. I can imagine the whole scene! Alas, I am overwhelmed with cool old stuff and am selling some of my collectibles that don't really "belong" with me. Since I don't have much else to speak of in the Valentino/silent film department and am already swamped in ephemera I love, this is one of those things. If anyone is interested, please email spring_schutt@hotmail.com. I'd like to see it go to a good home.

My name is Brad Frick, I have been a Rudolph Valentino fan / collector for the past 20 years. I wanted to create a site where collectors, fans, and movie buffs could view photos of the thousands of Valentino items from the past 90 years or so. I hope you enjoy the site, feel free to contact me or comment on any of the items posted with your thoughts or if you have any other information. Thanks for visiting the site, enjoy!
